I love this thread and wanted to add to it by posting how my tickling, in particular my nylon foot tickling fetish, began. Hope it's not too long or uninteresting to the group.
Where It All Began
My first tickle experiences were at age 6 with a friend of my mom's who lived in the flat below ours. She was a pretty woman in her 20's. Her feet, which I had previosly never paid attention to, were beautiful, always pedicured to perfection, smelled incredible and were almost always in stockings. Her name was Theresa. She and mom would sit in our kitchen drinking coffee and chatting almost every day. She had a grade school age child and was a stay at home mom, so was my mother. I had a terrible crush on Theresa and was like a little puppy dog around her.
One day, out of the blue, when mom was in the bathroom she called me over and in the sweetest of voices asked me if I would please tickle her feet. I still remember that moment like it was yesterday. It is etched in my brain forever.
I crawled under the kitchen table, she slipped her feet from her shoes, lifted them in front of me, crossed her feet at the ankles and again asked me in a very low voice to please tickle her. She wiggled those pretty nylon clad toes, spread them, curled them and I don't know what it was about that moment but the air was incredibly charged and I felt something I'd never before felt coursing through my body like a thousand electric eels. Touching her warm, silky nylon clad feet after she slipped them out of her shoes was magical, it gave me a strange sense of control over her, a very powerful feeling because I was doing something that seemed to greatly please Theresa. As my little fingers scampered over her smooth soles and those strange sensations continued welling up in me, I could tell she loved the way I tickled her her feet and I was determined to do a perfect job tickling her too. I teased and tickled the tops and bottoms of her wiggling toes. scrambled my little fingers in the balls of her feet, scratched her heels, tickled the sides, the tops and the insteps of her sheer, stocking feet, I tickled around her ankles, the feel of the nylon material, the hissing sound of my nails as they slid so easily over the sheer nylon surface was as overwhelming to me as it must have been to her enduring the tickles.
My fingers were a blur, gliding over those slippery, stocking feet and then scampering up her legs as I started getting more comfortable, tickling her calves, all around and behind her knees and on the fronts of her lower thighs. It drove her almost as crazy as when I tickled her feet. She squirmed but never moved away from me and the fact that I was a little kid doing something that somehow seemed a bit bold, even perhaps naughty, that an adult enjoyed so much simply spurred me on in a way that I didn't understand but nonetheless loved. I had butterflies in my tummy and a tingly feeling that I still get to this day when I'm tickling women. Of course my mom made me get out from under the table when she came back into the kitchen but I coudn't get Theresa or the thought ticking her stocking feet out of my head,
Theresa let me tickle her any chance we got for close to two years berfore she and her family moved away. In her flat, when I'd make an excuse to go downstairs, in the back yard when she was relaxing in a chase lounge, in our kitchen or living room always as discretely as possible because I know my mom would have never approved of this. In fact she caught me tickling Theresa under the table a number of times and scolded me and actually made me apologize to her for annoying her so much and not leaving her alone. Having to sneak around to tickle her pretty feet and legs made it even more thrilling to this young boy. She called me her 'special little tickle man' which thrilled me to no end.
Theresa was a perfect lady and nothing sexual was ever suggested or occurred when I tickled her. Knowing now what I do about the sensual nature of tickling or the feelings that even a torturous tickling can stir up in a ticklee, I'm sure she was very aroused by our activity but never voiced it or ever asked me to do anything other than just tickle her.
Of course I became a little tickle monster after starting to tickle Theresa the first couple of times she requested it. Kim, the girl next door, my babysitter Linda, a couple of my aunts, my sister, girls in my grade school, my friends' sisters and even one of their moms all were way too irrisistable to this new found tickler and it certainly helped that they were all very ticklish. The adults always thought it was silly and cute and practicaally always let me tickle them without complaints. The girls around my age after a while knew tickles were coming when I was around them and while some avoided me there were others that I realized enjoyed being tickled as much as I loved tickling them.
Linda, my babysitter, would let me tickle her just to keep me out of mischief. I have a feeling she liked the sensations or she never would have allowed it but anytime she watched me and my siblings I knew I'd have opportunities to tickle her.
I literally had no willpower, no way to stop my desire to tickle girls. My fetish consumed me. As I got older, improved my skills and the level of control and refinement I had over the feelings I'd developed for these kinks (high school age) I realized that tickling wasn't just fun and playful or ruthlesss and torturous. I discovered just how sensual and erotic tickling was and how it sexually affected me and my ticklish girlfriends, especially once I started exploring their sex and upper bodies along with their feet and legs.
I can honestly say that I turned some of the girls/women who didn't quite understand my kinks but learned to love them into tickle fetishists and lovers of various types of foot play.
Thinking back, that first morning with Theresa was truly a revelation & changed my life forever. I've loved tickling, women's pretty feet and women in nylons of any type ever since that day. Incorporating things like bondage, blindfolds, edging, denial, encasement, forced orgasms, spanking, the use of different tickle tools, etc. has helpled the continued and ever growing evolution of my fetishes.
Thank you Theresa wherever you are and thank you to all of you wonderful, kinky, ticklish women out there who have enhanced and continue to enhance my life.
